Laconia eyes 341-unit plan

When the Laconia Planning Board meets Tuesday at 6:30 p.m. in Room 200A at City Hall, it is expected to have some answers back from a Manchester developer who wants to build a 341-unit housing complex on Weirs Blvd.

Brady-Sullivan Properties was asked by the board back in February to respond to concerns about traffic congestion, storm water runoff, phasing and aesthetics.

Brady-Sullivan is proposing a subdivision that would have 33 single-family units, 227 multifamily attached dwellings, an 81-unit apartment building and a 7,000 square-foot clubhouse. The complex would be located on an 84-acre parcel that would have separate entrances and exits on both Weirs Blvd. and White Oaks Road.

Also Tuesday, the board will hold a hearing on whether Cumberland Farms complied with changes the board requested it make. Specifically, the board told Cumberland Farms that the roof canopy which spans the fuel pumps should be peaked; the company erroneously installed a flat canopy.
